Once upon a Time from the Perspective of an Innocent Bystander by Cynthia BrehenyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Cynthia Breheny has created a gem of a story in this, her first novel. She writes with a sure hand.
Elphadora Pratt is a boring and dreary girl of fourteen. Her twelve siblings are all wonderfully gifted children; Elphadora most assuredly is not. That's where the story begins, but it not where it ends. She and we are in for a wild ride.
I bought the book because I know Cindy on-line. I had not known she wrote. I know now. I started reading in the morning. It wasn't quite the next day when I finished. Highly recommended. I am eagerly looking forward to book 2 of the Curiously Chimerical Chronicles.
